Piano Shell Store Info

A quick note on piano shells.  Measure your keyboard width and look at the widths of the shells we have before calling.  99% of the time your keyboard width will exceed the maximum width of a piano shell we may have.

If you are building your own shell from an old piano measure that first otherwise you will spend days of time for nothing.

There is a two week lead time on any custom shell work that we may have to do.  We do not have time to rent and transport shells to locations.  They are for sale and we no longer do rush jobs for record labels.  2 weeks is the minimum time frame involved.
